🚨 IMPORTANT ALABAMA DENTAL LEGISLATIVE ALERT – THIS AFFECTS PATIENTS 🚨

Alabama State Bill 81 (SB81) is currently being stalled in committee.

This bill would require dental insurance companies in Alabama to pay more fairly on patient claims. That means:

✔️ Better coverage for patients
✔️ More transparency
✔️ Fairer reimbursement for necessary dental care
✔️ Stronger support for local dental practices and small businesses

When insurance companies underpay, patients often feel the impact through higher out-of-pocket costs, delayed treatment, or fewer in-network options.

We need EVERYONE — dentists, patients, families, and community members — to make a quick call and ask that SB81 be allowed to move forward for a vote.

📞 Please call and say:
“I support SB81 and want you to allow it to be voted on in your Committee, and subsequently in the Alabama Senate.”

📍 Senator Shay Shelnutt
(334) 261-0794

📍 Senator Steve Livingston
(334) 261-0858

If voicemail is full, call the Senate main number: (334) 261-0800
Tell staff the voicemail is full and that you need to get in touch with the senator.

This takes 2 minutes.
But it could make a lasting difference for dental patients across Alabama.

The only way insurance reform happens is when we stand united.

Please share. Please call. Please get involved.
